SYSTEM PERFORMANCE MEASURES:THE BIG PICTURE

• System Performance Measures evaluate effectiveness of a Continuum of Care’s “system” by looking at individual or family’s success moving from homelessness to stable housing.

• A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a network of homeless assistance service providers who work together to design a local “system” to assist people experiencing homelessness in their area.

• Locally: Tampa/Hillsborough County Continuum of Care• Geographic area covers all of Hillsborough County
